Wärtsilä propulsion solution chosen for new LNG bunkering vessel
The new 5800m³ LNG bunker and feeder vessel for Sirius Veder Gas AB
The Wärtsilä propulsion package will comprise a 6-cylinder Wärtsilä 34DF dual-fuel main engine capable of running on either LNG or diesel, a reduction gearbox with power take-off (PTO), a shaft line suitable for use with environmentally friendly lubricants and equipped with a Wärtsilä Airguard aft seal that allows zero emissions, and a Wärtsilä controllable pitch propeller.
Upon its delivery, the ship will be deployed on a long-term charter by Skangass, a leading player in the Nordic and Finnish LNG markets. Sirius Veder Gas AB, the owners of the new vessel, is a joint venture formed between Sirius Rederi of Sweden and the Dutch Anthony Veder Group.
The Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled for delivery in 2016, and the vessel is due to be delivered in February 2017.
